Rijksmuseum Research Library's photostream  

The Rijksmuseum (Amsterdam) has one of the largest art history libraries in the Netherlands. Catalogues of auctions and exhibitions, trade and collection catalogues, as well as books, periodicals and annual reports relating to the museum collections have been collected without interruption since 1885.

Here, we offer you some glimpses behind the scenes. The greater part of the pictures were made by Willem Ouwerkerk, our Exchange Librarian. Please stick to the Creative Commons rules for reusing any of the pictures presented here. When in doubt, send a mail to: bibliotheek at rijksmuseum dot nl
